I agree with Erich, when I was amassing my 120+ SA/NSKK daggers I did not concern myself too much with condition overall. I did rate rarity over condition in a lot of cases. So for a common maker it would be condition and the rarer ones I would take what I found and hope for a possible upgrade later.
If a maker only made 1000 daggers and I own one then I count that a bonus even if it looks a little tatty.
I have to say that I do like the RZM daggers as well. Just because a RARER maker used a number instead of a MM does not detract form it being uncommon, in this case though condition is a must. I also always try and buy the transitional daggers, they are also not common.
